Sultan Darius
Sultan Darius broke through at just his fourth attempt, landing a debut victory at Lingfield Park this week in a race for two-year-olds. With one win and one place from four races, the horse has shown enough promise to suggest the early success was no flash in the pan. His recent form tells a story of a young runner finding his feet: a win, followed by a fourth-place finish, then an eighth, and most recently a fourth again. That opening victory suggests he has the talent to get his head in front, even if consistency remains a work in progress at this early stage.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Trained by Marco Botti at his Newmarket yard, Sultan Darius is part of a powerful operation that has already sent out 45 winners this season.

At two years old, Sultan Darius has the advantage of time on his side — plenty of room to develop and find the races that suit him best.
